> I was running FC4 for a long time with no problem until one 
> day LVM decided to trash my superblocks - yes, EVERY 
> superblock on my disk.  
> All that work is now gone. So I tried FC5 on a new disk. Ran 
> into dependencies that couldn't be resolved. bind conflicted 
> with some other package and kept trying to re-download the 
> 600MB of packages every time I tried. After the 4th time of 
> adding/removing packages to solve dependencies, I gave up. 
> Then I couldn't get nvidia driver to load. No idea why. I was 
> too frustrated to find out. So I go back to
> FC4 and haven't been able to get yum upgrade to finish after 
> 2.5 days of trying. 403's, 404's, parser errors. Forget it. 
> It's not worth it.
